I have a bunch of old service publications that are up for grabs. A real storehouse of servicing information and vintage advertisements !

The Good: There's a bunch and they're FREE !

The Bad: These came out of an old electronic service guy's basement and have an odor to them.

Please note I will NOT ship these. Local pickup only -- I'm about 17 miles West of Baltimore, Md off I-70.

I'd prefer for one or more people to just grab the boxes and take all of these. They're currently stored in the back of an old van I have on the property, and I'm looking to get it towed for scrap in the near future. As such, first come , first served, no holds.

Unwillingness to ship is a deal killer for most who would be interested...

Also, whoever is willing to go get them may be wasting a trip. Whenever I see "first come, first served, no holds" or anything like it in local free ads I immediately write them off. Actually I've seen that so much in recent history that I've all but stopped checking the free ads.

The intent was to get these out of here fast, meaning first that can transport them gets them.

There's the other side of the coin to consider. I don't want to be stuck in a holding pattern hanging on to these for a month or more only to have the person decide to back out as the pickup date approaches. People grabbing free items often flake out at the last minute as they have essentially nothing to lose.....
